Fox News was knocked from its position as the No. 1 cable daytime news network to MSNBC last week. The ratings moment was a historical achievement for MSNBC, which hadn’t managed to top Fox News and be the most-watched network during the daytime slot in 18 years.

MSNBC raked in 1.56 million viewers between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m--the "sales day" hours--during the week of December 17-21. Meanwhile, Fox News brought in 1.54 million and CNN’s 975,000, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Steve, Quoting the Nielsen ratings, NBC Universal said MSNBC toppled Fox in the daytime demographic of 25-to-54 year olds during the December 17-21 timeframe, which was a first for the network since October 8, 2001.

Some of MSNBC’s most popular morning programs include Morning Joe, hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, and MSNBC Live, which features a rotation of hosts from the hours of 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

MSNBC also had the most-watched cable news program, The Rachel Maddow Show, which brought in an average of 3.21 million viewers last week.

These FACTS that I quoted is from The Nelsen Report and not from anybody from MSNBC.

I guess your hart was harden again to the FACT that you over looked this comment I wrote in reply on the subject:
